[Q] Can not Download apps in Market.

I have recently rooted and installed Android Revolution on my wife's inspire.
However I just realized that i am unable to download from the market any apps. All I get is 2 secs of the downloading arrow before it disappears and i am prompted to
download again. I have tried clearing data in the market app and rebooting to no avail. Internet works as does browsing the market.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit, tried over wifi, tried an older version of the market app and still no luck.

Re-install the Rom, ensuring you clear the Delvik and wipe everything before install.

I'll give it a try.

Once done. if the issue continues;
1. Are you getting any error messages when you attempt to use market? When you turn the phone off and on? Anytime?
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
3. Have you tried going to market on a PC and pushing an app to the phone? Does the app push when you do?

No error messages, power cycling the phone has not helped.
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
since flashing I'm not sure if it has worked. I am logged in, and can see apps under my apps. Anything I have attempted to dl is listed there, but is not listed as installed.
3. Have you tried going to market on a PC and pushing an app to the phone? Does the app push when you do?

Hve you checked your APN settings? Ensure that they are correct. Do A Search and you will find them.

Try and wipe the cache.

Flashing the rom was supposed to be the first thing you did.

Reflashed, it works

I have been getting this error in the play store everytime I try to download an app free or otherwise. I have tried clearing the data and clearing the cache and I'm still getting it. Running RG2x MIUI and Trinity. Suggestions?

Check your credit card information on your account. My amazon app store was doing the same thing to me, free or not, until I realized the card I had on the account had been expired since January.

I don't use a credit card, charges appear on my tmobile bill. Two days ago everything worked fine. I haven't even made any changes on my account in that time.

Bare with me Guys. This is my absolute Very 1st post on XDA. I was going to post a new thread and it suggested this one. All other relative issues were from 2011. FOR THE LIFE OF ME -- i cannot download apps; even free ones. "ERROR PROCESSING PURCHASE" This sucks! Even on updates. Please help!

Just a thought. I realized this started for me the same day I added another phone to my account. Of course the other phone is for somebody else with a completely different Google account, but this is the only variable I can think of. Do you happen to be on a family plan or anything like I am now?

No. I have installed Juggernaut 5.0 for my Samsung Galaxy SII. I don't think I had this problem yesterday when it was installed. I've wiped cache, dalvik rebooted and all.

Google apps are all out of wack for me. I installed Gmail update and problems started to occur. Think it's on Google's end. You can try and reflash gapps? Maybe that will help?

If you don't know, then it doesn't really apply to your situation.
For clarity...cyanogenmod and a lot of the other roms aren't really suppose to include g(oogle)apps. These are the apps developed by Google such as maps, Gmail, play store/market, etc. So when you flash a custom rom like cm7 you also download and flash a zip file which installs these on your phone manually. All done through clockworkmod recovery.
I noticed that basically any of the less-popular apps in the play store can download and install without a problem. Only popular things like angry birds space and some of the other random things I tried seem to have this problem.

What my fellow xda user just said! Do a quick Google search for latest gb Google apps. Download file and flash in recovery think latest is 8/28
Only if you running gingerbread base rom
Edit : http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
There you go.. Put on root of sd card and flash. Cwm will do the rest

Well I can say there are A LOT of forums on here regarding this issue - however they date back to over a year ago. I've uninstalled some system apps (My Account for T-Mobile) and other non-essentials. I don't assume that is an issue. But like I said the past couple days it gets that error. One forum suggested removing the Google account then reinstalling, however my phone says it requires a factory reset for this. I've already spent lots of time customizing my ROM... Any other ideas?

Dang Man, I followed all steps appropriately -- I thought for a moment the clouds parted and I was being shined on. I was able to download 1 app -- then, back to the "ERROR PROCESSING PURCHASE" message again... I thought I had it...sigh, any ideas behind that? Any other suggestions?

No you can access the market via pc also. If you get errors as well then it might be Google.

I seem to be able to fix this problem by turning off Wi-Fi, clearing market cache/data, and then restarting the Market/Play Store and setting it up using T-Mobile's network instead of Wi-Fi... Billing to the T-Mobile Bill seems to work fine after that.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 9 Alpha Unable to install/update

I cannot install or update any apps on my phone. I can restore them via titanium, but not through the store. Does anybody have any ideas?
I'm running the release from 29th March 2012 if that helps...

It seems that trying to install the latest gapps has fixed it for now.
But it does keep trying to update Osmos, even though I bought it through the humble bundle instead of the pay store. Any help?
Also, don't know how to edit from the app, hence the double post.

Don't worry about the double post, nothing to worry about here.
You can try to clear the cache from play store, or maybe reinstall it. reboot your phone.
Sometimes it needs a while for the store to recognize all your apps and settings.

I restarted my phone last night and I couldn't install apps again. Rebooted into recovery and reinstalled gapps again and it seems to work again. Next time it happens, I'll try clearing the cache first.

There is no possibility to workaround. Games bought outside Google Play will be always marked but cannot be updated.

EDIT: Clearing the cache, data and force stopping hasn't helped the downloading issue.
EDIT 2: I installed Play Store v3.5.16 from here, and it seems to work fine now.

Thanks for the link,just install it and can confirm it worked for me.

Known Issue
Yeah - that's one of the known issues on CM9 Alpha unfortunately...
Very difficult to find an ICS ROM for the Desire S where everything "just works".

Thanks for the link, I had the same issue, but after I installed that, the issue is gone!

Play Store - Error Code 942

Hey all!
So I have a Sensation 4G, and before i was rooted, i had an app called Cell Biology Study Guide (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilereference.cellbiology&hl=en)
I'm taking biology in University and this app was a life saver. When i got rooted, this app was incompatible with my phone... So later on, today, i downloaded LCD Density Modder Pro, which had a new market apk and whatnot.
I was able to go to the link of the app and click download, but it would give me the error code instead.
Any fix? Is there an alternate way to get the app? I would REALLY appreciate it. This app is a simplified, detailed textbook on your phone, i could really use it
Using Ordroid
Thanks!

Try clearing data from download manager (settings-apps-all) and play store, then remove your google account, then go to play store and it will ask you to link your account after that try downloading the app. (That worked for me).

Well it did give me access to some other apps i could not see before haha, but not the one i specifically wanted. Thanks for your help, however!

Hi I'm using Ordroid 8.6.5, just download a couple days ago. Well I noticed what happened at the playstore was for some reason it ERASED my google wallet! This giving me the error when purchasing applications! So it was a easy fix. I went to google wallet you can access your wallet in a drop down menu at check out, and I Re entered my card information. This did the trick, no more error during download! Not sure if it's your error also but I did some searching and I think the code does have something to do with billing. I can't figure out why my information was ERASED but I only know it WAS! Maybe this will help you too ? Check you're google wallet and see if your info is still available. This could be what's happening to you also. Is worth a try . Good luck!

GAPPS Version
According to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750759 you may be using an incorrect version of GAPPS.
The aforementioned post links to GAPPS downloads but also check your ROM's thread and it may have a custom modified version as well.
I was plagued with 942's and inability to install APKs [that worked before] until I finally found that post.

worked for me too thanks.

This solution didn't work for me. Error 942 still remains in my Google Play Store.. :/

This is an old post...
What's your ROM?? Using sense or not using???

My situation may be a little bit diff cause I was spoofing the market to download a certain app... first I tried the instructions above with no luck. Finally, what I did was cleared Play Store data one more time and uninstalled updates to go back to an older version of Play. Worked like a charm. Then just go back and update your Play.

Download from file sharing websites problem (Solved)

I use Dolphin, but I remember having this problem even on other browsers.
If I want to download smth from uploaded, I get an error and am unable to download anything no matter how many times I try. If I try with uploading.com download starts and ends within a second and I get a tiny file.
If I download smth from mediafire everything goes fine.
This thing happens to most of the other websites, but I don't really recall which doesn't work and which does.
Is there any fix for this?

Ok I've done some tests. These are the ones that don't work so far (no download at all or a tiny file)
-depositfiles
-bitshare
-freakshare
-share-online
-rapidgator
-2shared
These work fine:
-zippyshare
-mediafire
-ziddu
I have tried with dolphin and chrome. I cleared cache, etc.
If I try downloading from computer they work fine.
I use ViperS ROM, and I have always had this problem as far as I remember.
I have to download files to my PC first.
Does anybody else have these problems? Is there any fix?
I think it may be realated to mobile websites, but I'm not sure
Edit: I think I found a connection between these websites that don't work, they all have captcha. Maybe it's realated to flash or smth similiar
